1909195 16:48:18 09-11-09 RCR CREW REQUIRED CHANGE OF QUARTERS TO HAMLEY BRIDGE STATION. PLEASE ATTEND STATION IF YOU ARE AVAILABLE NOW. CAPTAIN CFS Salisbury Info

Just curious, if a 24 is required for a fire some distance away would it not be better if Hamley is just overlooked and another brigade from slightly further out sent, instead of them responding and leaving their area uncovered for RCR, and a COQ needed.
Would seem the sensible route surely, or get them a 2nd 24?

it would have made more sence to get dalkeith to do to COQ coz you have gawler 359 elizabeth 339 and 331 and virginia to cover dalkeith area for RCR  :|

as opposed to virginia, 329 & 339 covering salisbury's area?

Al has a decent point, nice to try to strategically over look certain brigadesm but at the same time, the CFS should be doing more backfilling of stations, and sending the closest resources to the fire.

The thing is, you can take away Dalkeith and Salisbury as they are both  in area's that already have rescue coverage. In the case the Hamley Bridge crew are fairly close, so to speak, to the fire, taking either Salisbury or Dalkeith out the system isn't going to affect anything, which kind of brings the point, why not just use those brigades to go to the fire. Having all their trucks out isn't really an issue, but I guess, where do you draw the line. It doesn't affect RCR or urban responses as MFS are going either way, but rural response it does affect.

slow day at the ranch?

[Darren]

Yeah, looks stupid, a 2nd alarm car fire, but thats how they want it, Seaford (or Mawson group) want dual response and MFS don't count CFS due to potential to not turn out....makes for a 2nd alarm car fire, haha

[CFS_Firey]

Those red corollas can make for a huge inferno though...

[mattb]

I still want to know why we are sending 2 CFS brigades out to a car fire. As far as I can tell, the MFS changed their response to these incidents a couple of years ago and now without any consultation those CFS brigades despatched by BOMS have somehow now also had their response changed.

I know our own brigade response plans, signed off by Region and Group only stipulate one brigade, but now every vehicle fire we respond to is automatically two brigades.

CFS COSO's (2008) state: 1 x App – min Second app. required if no CABA on first

Might be worth speaking with region again Matt then forwarding that info on again? Theres plenty of brigades with BOMS response data that get to go play with themselves [so to speak].

[tft]

A car fire is a two appliance responce, this changed a few years ago because of a couple of cars that were on LPG that went bang.

Thanks mate, there is about to be some significant changes to our response data in BOMS so I will use that as an opportunity to investigate it.

A car fire is a two appliance responce, this changed a few years ago because of a couple of cars that were on LPG that went bang.

Can you find an SOP to verify that, according to the 2008 CFS COSO's and SOP's it is a single appliance response unless the first appliance is not carrying B.A.

MFS have a different policy.

[Zippy]

Yeah matt's right,

1 x App – min.  Second app. required if no CABA on first

BUT...when can we ever guarantee BA operators on the first appliance.


Lack of BA operators trained, equals automatic 2nd alarm Vehicle fire upon 000.... (2nd Alarm Vehicle Fire being a cumulative response of 3 appliances)
